‭‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV

“and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Paul taught the Colossians believers not to be absorbed by external things, rituals, legalism, or observing festivals which caused people to argue about it and be divided.

Holding fast to the head is joining together in His body with Jesus being the Head.

To detach ourselves from the Head causes the parts of the body to be cut off from direction, protection, and nourishment.

We need to be part of the body of Christ. Accountable to each other and submit to each other by following Jesus.

We must not be puffed up by the gifts to work alone but to complement the body with our gifts and talents.

We cannot be divided and expect to achieve great things for the kingdom of God. We need to lay down our pride and follow Christ.

Relationships are very important in every aspect of God’s kingdom, building each other in the Lord for His purpose.

Just like the body, each part of the body contributes to each other to bring the best out of every part of the body.

So are we to encourage, build, and strengthen each other for God’s best in everyone.

Encouraging and building each other in the truth and not in our own personal agenda.

Let us open the doors of our hearts to follow the Head, Jesus Christ, and submit to His leading.

Blessings
